"The latest incarnation of the most popular tournament marker in the world" - Planet Eclipse
It's hard to believe that Planet Eclipse already released their 5th generation paintball gun, the Ego 9. In 2004, the first Eclipse Ego debuted and captured the attention of most professional players and high-end gun users. Planet Eclipse built a gun around weight, air efficiency, size, ergonomics, and accuracy. Over the last 4 years, Planet Eclipse has been making some very aggressive moves in the high-end paintball gun market. The Ego came in and swept away "old technology" in paintball.
Right now the leading manufacturers in the high-end gun market are Dye/Proto (DM9/PM8), Smart Parts (Shocker), and Planet Eclipse (Ego). Say goodbye to WDP (Angels) and WGP (Autocockers), they will soon become antiques. The Eclipse Ego can be partially blamed for this but good riddance. Planet Eclipse has been building their guns around the same solid foundations of reliability, performance, light-weight'ness and simplicity. You can expect the same features, and more, with the new Ego 9.
Hey guys, now that Thanksgiving is over we're officially in the Christmas holiday season. We here at PaintballGuns.net decided to go out and find the best deals floating around the web for Christmas gifts for 2008, just like we did for Thanksgiving last year.
We searched the internet for what we feel is the best value out there for paintballers like you, and this year’s winner is…the Syndicate Misfit paintball gun. We based our decision off of the gun's features and price (only $85 shipped). The Misfit has them both hands down. Our spokes-lady Claire will be releasing a new video about the Misfit paintball gun every week up until Christmas, showing you its features and available upgrades.
Dye has released their new loader named the "Rotor" at the 2008 World Cup. Dye claims the Rotor has the "most consistent feed rate of any loader on the market". Made from Nylon material, the intelligent design behind the Rotor allows for quick maintenance and disassembly, making it extremely easy to clean. No more screwdrivers or Allen/hex keys needed for this loader. Very impressive Dye.
